Corporate world and its atrocities; empty nests and the consequent loneliness; unusual career choices and the discord, divorce and its aftermath - various contemporary issues are portrayed.

Sometimes a book doesn’t just sit on your shelf — it stays beside you when you’re replaying old memories you swore you’d forgotten. That’s exactly how this poetry collection felt to me — like a quiet friend who doesn’t force advice but listens, nods, and reminds you that your scars aren’t shameful, they’re proof you’ve felt deeply.
What touched me the most is how the poet doesn’t pretend to tie everything up in neat, happy endings. Some poems ache with heartbreak, others whisper of soft courage, and a few feel like a gentle push to stand up and breathe again. The raw doodles sprinkled through the pages make it even more special — they’re like little windows into the poet’s mind, scribbled truths we’re lucky enough to peek at.
It’s not the kind of poetry that asks you to decode every line. Instead, it holds your hand through your own memories — that first heartbreak, the rejection that stung for years, the way we cling to people who feel like home even when they’re gone. I found myself pausing after certain verses, just sitting there, thinking of all the versions of myself I’ve hidden away.
If you’ve ever longed for someone who didn’t stay, or found yourself piecing your heart back together at your own pace — this book will sit with you through it. It’s not just for poetry lovers, but for anyone who wants to feel understood, even for a moment. Some lines might sting, some might heal — but when you close the last page, you’ll feel like you’ve been gently reminded: you’re not alone in this.

What a profound journey through the human heart Brinde Roy has gifted us in this collection. From the poignant whisper of "Yours Forever" to the unsettling echoes of "Haunting Tunes," Roy's poetry carves out a space where vulnerability and strength intertwine, leaving an indelible mark on the reader's soul.
In "Yours Forever," we witness a tender tragedy unfold, a heartbreaking ballet between a grounded grass and a fleeting flower. Roy's personification is exquisite, giving voice to unspoken devotion and the inevitable sorrow of a love that can never truly be, culminating in a final, serene surrender. It's a testament to love's enduring nature, even in the face of insurmountable odds.
"Are You Real..." is a radiant counterpoint, a beautiful ode to transformative love. Here, Roy paints a picture of a love so pure, so affirming, that it lifts the speaker from self-hatred to a profound appreciation of their own being. The imagery of rising from ashes is potent, capturing the redemptive power of genuine connection.
Then there's the raw, almost visceral desperation of "Right To Love," a stark portrayal of unrequited yearning.
The small, intimate details, "Smelling your used shirts," "Drinking your left over water", are incredibly powerful, conveying a profound sense of longing and a heartbreaking self-sacrifice in the pursuit of an elusive ideal.
"Beloved..." unfurls like a lyrical tapestry, each stanza a brushstroke of adoration. Roy's use of natural metaphors, moonlight, raindrops, seas, mountains, speaks to the profound, all-encompassing nature of this love, a shelter and a source of life that transforms the mundane into the magical.
"Wall..." is a fascinating reflection, a quiet contemplation of existence and purpose. The wall, seemingly "Vacant, worthless, useless," becomes a symbol of enduring strength and unintentional joy, finding purpose in its steadfast presence and the shelter it offers. It's a subtle yet powerful reminder that even the seemingly insignificant can hold profound meaning.

Although the book looks like a collection of poems at first, it is actually a tapestry of tenderness that reveals the true meaning of what it is to love, long, lose, and eventually live.
From Once More to Haunting Fumes, every chapter pulses with resiliency, vulnerability, and longing like a heartbeat. The book's structure is not linear; rather, it reflects the emotional cycles that most people experience: hope at the beginning, pain at the end, courage at the top, and then hope again. Themes and the Emotional Terrain Just the titles provide an eerie road map: Memories of You, Remembering You, Gone So Far, evokes feelings of loss and longing.
The poet is not hesitant to address complexity in either self-reflection or romance. The doodles that accompany each chapter are what give the book its eye-catching appearance. They act as emotional preludes, setting the reader up for the tone and profundity of each poem, rather than being ornamental.
The book feels intimate because of these hand-drawn details, as if it were a personal journal that someone finally had the guts to share.
The poems are super personal, like you’re reading someone’s diary at 3 a.m. while they’re asleep on the couch. It has almost confessional tone, similar to poets like Lang Leav or Nayyirah Waheed, even though the specific poems aren't quoted here. Soft rebellion permeates the text; the poet uses metaphors to subtly express their suffering rather than yelling it out loud. Though not always easy to understand, this type of poetry is complex.
This book is a mirror for brave souls and broken hearts, not just a collection of poetry. These pages will provide comfort to readers seeking introspection, emotional catharsis, or just a reminder that they are not alone in their pain. It might not have a conventional arc, but that's exactly what makes it strong. This book seems to fully embrace the messy, nonlinear, and layered nature of emotions.

In Between the Lines by Brinda Roy is quite scarce—there are very few detailed reviews available online as of mid‑2025, and the academic or mainstream media have limited coverage of this title. What I can share, however, includes highlights drawn from reader impressions, social media discussions, and thematic inference.
“the book has a collection of poems on various social‑political ongoings as well as on mundane things in life and everything in between.”
> And cautioned: “I find it hard to like poems like this which don't have any rhyme at all…”
Readers who enjoy modern poetic forms, prose‑poems, or experimental literary styles.
Those drawn to contemporary commentary—blending personal, socio‑political, and emotional landscapes.
In Between the Lines by Brinda Roy seems to offer a lyrical exploration of subtle and current themes, delivered in a poetic‑essay format rather than structured verses. It has earned appreciation from readers who connect with its introspective style and socially attuned content. However, potentially alienating to those preferring traditional rhyme, narrative, or formal poetry.
Given the limited critical analysis available, I’d recommend sampling a few passages—especially if your literary taste leans toward reflective, socially aware poetry.
🎨 Writing Style & Themes
The work appears to be a collection blending free‑verse poems or poetic essays—likely prose‑poems—rather than structured, rhyming poetry.
Language & Tone Described as lyrical, emotive, deeply introspective, with strong imagery and modern cadence.
Focuses on identity, socio‑political realities, individual and collective experiences, weaving together the ordinary and the pressing issues of the times.

In Between the Lines by Brinda Roy is a collection of raw, deeply emotional, and unapologetically honest poems that stir a profound sense of longing. These pieces often feel achingly familiar like whispers of emotions we’ve all carried at some point , making them intensely relatable.
I recently watched a series on Netflix that opened with a beautiful scene: a group of elderly people writing poetry. The narrator said, “Poetry shouldn’t be something only geniuses can decipher; it should be something that allows the reader to feel its depth through the simplest of words.” Brinda Roy’s poetry belongs exactly to that school of thought simple in form, raw in its expression, yet overflowing with feeling.
Her words reflect life in its most tender and vulnerable form like a quiet mirror held up to the heart of every ordinary soul. They reach inward, gently asking us to listen to what we truly long for on this journey of being human.
Her take on love is especially moving ,not the kind that is loud or demanding, but the kind that aches in silence, that holds space without expectations. Her poems speak of selfless love - the kind that remains sacred even when it's unreturned.
One of her most beautiful pieces, Kintsugi, beautifully captures the act of embracing imperfection. Using the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold as a metaphor, she reminds us that our brokenness does not make us less. Her love for the other isn’t in spite of their flaws, but because of them ,their past, their scars, their fractured pieces, all held with reverence.
Brinda Roy’s poetry doesn’t just speak, it listens. And in that quiet, it connects.

There are so many words that we keep reading in books, some just glide over the edges, some right across scars, some dig deep into these scars to unfurl them, and maybe find solace which hasn't come from any other source before. I think this especially holds true for poetry, so I used to be intimidated before, but slowly poetry has started to sink in, to find a way out of darkness. This book came at a perfect time too.
For context, this book is a set of poems, covering many themes, from heartbreak to low self esteem, to even covering themes when we truly feel ripped apart out of rejection of external attributes. The writing was just plain beautiful, especially the way the verses were built through. Illustrations drawn by the author, added to the edges, portraying a raw picture of the whole book.
A fair warning though, not every poem might hit you as maybe you haven't experienced it yet, but it doesn't put down what the author has penned across, as you can really see, for every poem feels like a real tangible thought any person has experienced when feeling the push and pull of heart in the aftermath, even the spiraling, which was really beautiful, because sometimes we need to see our thoughts alive in a book to put things into perspective and maybe heal a bit.

"Between the lines" is more of a collections of emotions than poems . The poems aren’t complicated, they’re real, heartfelt, and full of emotions I’ve personally felt but never had the right words for. The grief, the betrayal, the slow, quiet healing… it’s all there. One poem made me pause and breathe deeply. Another made me smile because it reminded me that self-love is still possible after heartbreak. They spoke to the parts of me I often ignore: my doubts, my disappointments, my little hopes. The book gently uncovers themes like career pressures, relationship cracks, loneliness, and the question we all face-“Who am I beyond what the world expects?”
The language is simple, yet the feelings hit deep. I loved that I didn’t have to "figure it out", I could just feel it. The illustrations are stunning too, adding to the overall calm and comforting vibe. This book didn’t just speak to my pain, it helped me feel a little lighter. A quiet, soulful read I’ll return to again.

The raw and honest expression of the poetess was quite visible through the poems and through the skillfully created art pieces. I was stunned to see the sketches, they are so pretty and go perfectly with the respective poems.
As someone with a keen knack for art and poetry, I found this book quite interesting, and would suggest it to my fellow poetry lovers.

Poetry That feels like Real Life”
This is a beautiful poetry book written by Brinda Roy who’s clearly a passionate artist.
What I liked is that her art and her poems are connected you can feel her creativity in both.
Honestly, I’m not someone who usually enjoys poetry, but this didn’t feel like typical poems. It felt more like real experiences, things you’ve felt or gone through at some point.
That’s what made this book special for me I could actually connect with it.
